I frequently find myself debating whether to google an item’s location or side quest steps. A lot of times, I try to avoid it as long as I can until I eventually give in after exploring an area for hours. But I always feel a little guilty after. But then I’m like, these games are so damn cryptic, I’d have to spend the rest of my life uncovering all the secrets without google.
Thoughts?
Many gamedevs have been designing their games with the expectation that players will reach out to others online for help in solving a part they find difficult. It’s a way of bringing people together and keeping the game relevant. So if you feel you’ll be having more fun searching for info online than discovering a game’s many secrets on your own, go ahead. Just have fun and let others have fun as well.
